Children
and Teens have fun, make new friends, and grow stronger in body, mind and
spirit, developing as individuals, and as "team members". All Dancers are
Grouped by Age, Grade, Type of Class Desired, Day & Time Availability.
Class sizes are limited to insure safety, fun, and individual attention for
every student. Students at every age are empowered to create their own
dances, and learn to apply age appropriate dance technique in original
choreography created especially for each class by their professional
instructor/mentors. Grades
2-12 Elementary, Middle, and High School “COMPANY” classes are available for
interested students in who enjoy learning to choreograph and performing more
than 1 dance per year, in shows 2-3 times per year. Costumed
Spring Recitals at Pace Academy for ALL Students held in Early May, (except
for the youngest 3’s-who begin Dance in January ’09- their costumed “recital
in class” is at their last class in April).
